About this resource
Description
The first forty words a child learns by sight carry more of a page than any other forty words in English. This Pre-Primer Sight Words Book takes six of them — the, and, see, look, can and little — and gives each one its own card to read, trace and write. The and and alone turn up in almost every sentence a beginning reader will ever meet, and a child who has to stop and sound them out loses the sentence she was holding in her head. Six words, practised properly, are worth more than twenty words skimmed.
This kindergarten dolch words worksheet works in the same three steps on every card. Your child reads the word printed at the top, traces the dotted letters on the first line, then writes the whole word from memory on the empty line below it. Say the word aloud each time she meets it — sight words are stored by sound and shape together, not by shape alone. The lines are long and the letters are large, so a child who is still learning to hold a pencil has room to work. The answer key on page two shows all six words written out.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 6 read-trace-write sight word cards
- Dolch pre-primer words: the, and, see, look, can, little
Three things make this Pre-Primer Sight Words Book do more than a spelling list. First, reading the word before tracing it means your child meets the word as a word, not as a row of letters to copy. Second, tracing builds the motor memory that makes the word come out whole the next time she writes it. Third, the empty line at the bottom is a real test — she has to recall the word without looking, which is exactly what a sight word has to become.
Keep the six words in front of your child for the rest of the week. Write them on cards and hide them around the room for a word hunt. Open any picture book and ask her to point to the every time she finds it, then count how many she caught on one page. Take turns building a silly sentence that uses two of the words at once — see the little something is a good start. Five minutes of that does more for a kindergartner than another page of writing, and it turns the words into something she owns.
